NOTES
A. G. Doe, who tried to play first base for
the Portlands in 'S5, is practicing for a
pitcher.
There Is general uprising among the
base base ball reporters against scoring
base on balls as a base hit. The rule Is too
absurd to stand long aud the sooner 1t is re-
pealed the better.

New York, tried the publication Of daily
paper devoted exclusively to base ball news.
He was backed by the managers OF the New
features Of the paper was the publication Of
complete scores of the games played by all
